why not? if the spare parts are available and people are willing to endure the horrible fuel mileage, let them.
You can buy a lot of gas for the premium you’d pay but buying a brand new car.
Every time I run the numbers to buy a new car vs keeping my 2014 Taco, the Taco wins, even with its abysmal gas mileage.
now imagine that with a 20 year old car whose engine regularly gets 400k km and gets up to 40mpg (around 5-6L/100km). and did i mention that i paid 2000€ for it? why would i now spend 50-100k on an electric car that lasts 20 years tops?
